1. I'll first concentrate on the key vegetables which are normally difficult to cut with normal kitchen knife. like jack fruit, carrots, radish, broccoli etc.
2. I'll try the softer and smaller which usually create problems in cutting due to their small size and extra softness. Smaller/softer ones like spinach, mint leaves, green chillies, etc
3. With this I'll conclude that what it claims is correct. And pass the test, I will not do an exhaustive testing by try cutting all the available vegetables in the world.

trying to cut all vegetable in world at some time is not feasible, so we can sample it with size, hardness, shape to cut. example small/hard/round - small potato, small/soft/round - tomotes, medium/soft/round - cabbage etc.

hi..
When a vegetable cutter is given to test, pls dont assume like a normal knife used in kitchen. I guess it could be more interesting when it can any kind of vegetable.
So few questions to make this question more clear, so this can help to write better testcases without assumption,

1. First is it a manual cutter like knife or some electric cutter?
2.As it a universal cutter, it can cut any vegetable-does it have different kinds of blades to cut?
3. does the blades can give different shapes in cutting?
4. Does the cutter has any bowl/container kind of thing toput the vegtable to cut? so depending that we can place the vegtable size.
So question like this can me clear before writting testcases.
